Nick says, "The first garden is 20 years old with permaculture planning on a flat, alluvial site. It includes an owner built passive solar house, vegies, fruit trees, clumping bamboo and rainforest restoration. The other garden is 6 years old, on a hilltop close by but very different – more windy, drier and with poorer soil. Climate change is making things tougher still, so I’ve learnt a lot about water conservation and regenerative gardening.
The littoral rainforest in nearby Bongil Bongil National Park plays a big influence in my gardening approach. I will be walking there in the morning, leaving the house at 9.30 a.m. sharp. Anyone is welcome to join in if they can walk 5km at moderate pace."
Please bring a plate to share for lunch at the beginning of the gathering.
